Worst drop rate ever!

Comment by MIMP

In the area just Southwest of the round lake in the center of Crystal Song are the Skeletal Woodcutters.- Kill Skeletal Woodcutters until you loot the Large Femur quest item.- Find Maloric nearby, (he's neutral faction and standing on the ruins.)- Walk behind Maloric and activate the "Use:" ability on the Large Femur.- Loot him.

Comment by keeds

Maloric is standing at (38.3,59.4) which can be seen on this map.The Skeletal Woodcutters are all around the area where he is standing.

I can't seem to loot him when he's incapacitated. . . It only allows me to start attacking. Anyone else have this problem and happen to find the solution?

Comment by maroltk

O whoops sorry seems that once you incapacitate him it automatically loots the item to you. I feel dumb :-(

Comment by i2ichardt

Your pet will attack Maloric after u use the quest item, unless you have him on passive.

Comment by Cryptern

This is so poorly thought through.. once 1 immature a**hat done it, he thinks its funny to keep killing him over and over again, preventing others from doing it. Personally, i'm gonna have to do it later, due to 3 alliance tagging him the instant he spawns.

Then I guess 70% of quests in wow are badly thought through... Wait...

Blame the players, who think MMORPG means, they have to annoy others.

Comment by Guinglain

If you can't loot him, be sure to move in front of him. You won't see the loot icon unless you're facing him.

Comment by Lartoon

ya put pet on passive, hit him from behind with the bone, u dont have to kill him, just loot him and leave.

Comment by rodmin

An additional thing.

When you sap Maloric, you'll enter combat. You can loot him while he's stunned. But if you go away a few yards, you'll leave combat, so you can go away without killing the squire's, for everyone's sake.

Comment by Izenloc

Did anyone else kill him for fun after looting him? Or was that just me?

Comment by veselu

Maloric is around ( 38, 60 ), the skeletal woodcutters are all around him. Large femur dropped from the 1st mob. Have fun.

Comment by Korlae

Indeed you can. Make sure your combat pets are on passive -- when I attempted to loot, my pet, who was on defensive, took this as a sign to attack.

Comment by hevgirl

He Drops No Loot.

don't bother killing him.

Comment by mentel

All this running to and fro, feels like old world questing :)

Comment by mrpoopiepants

This doesn't require level 80, I'm currently doing it at 78.

Comment by Churenga

Just a quick note so you don't waste the same time I did. If you're in a party the Skeletal Woodcutters won't drop the large femur. Spent 10 minutes killing them without a drop, left the instance party I'd been in and got the item very next drop. A lot of the other quests work like this, I'd forgotten that detail.

Clearly she has not adventured through the bags of the average player.

Comment by Torte

That made my day :P

Comment by pnukup

The sap from the bone is not a sap. It's a stun.He will be stunned the hole duration of the bones debuff and you can kill him easy after looting him while he has the stun from the bone on him

Comment by polisherci

I think the name of the quest refers to the movie "There's Something about Mary".as noone mentioned^^

Comment by sessions12

hrm wtf ive killed 26 of the skeletal's and no drop what gives

Comment by Stashmayn3

i've been killing them for 20 min and i haven't gotten one. damn.

Comment by modicumofrespite

Pet attacked him, so had to kill. Now can't get a loot mouseover on the respawned Maloric. Not in combat until I try to click Maloric (sword mouseover), but can't loot him either. Any ideas?

Comment by Kehnara

Ok so I've used the item 4 times and it stuns him...but there is never anything to loot. He just sits there and then goes back to active mode.

Comment by aoeu

Mary is wayyyy hotter :)

Comment by Slorafossen

If you have a pet (warlocks, hunters, priests with shadowfiends), put them on PASSIVE. I just tried to loot him and then my pet smacked him as i was trying to loot him, so then I couldnt grab it and ended up having to kill him...

I don't think many priests walk around with their Shadowfiends. At least I don't.

" You must be behind target " :)

Comment by DataFlake

Three mins of your life?Wow. That sucks.I can agree people should read the quest text better, but common lets not be over dramatic here.

Comment by brainimpalement

After sapping him, not only will you enter combat but he will be hostile towards you. As soon as the sap wears off he will beat on you. Oh no!

You have to be behind Maloric for the femur to work. I'm pretty sure that it drops 100% I got it on first kill. The skeletons are below level 80 and can be killed with your eyes closed (I wouldn't suggest trying it lol). You don't have to worry about Maloric attacking you, he's yellow, all you have to do is walk behind a hit him. You can't take off flying while he's stunned because it registers as in combat. As a night elf I just used shadowmeld and took off. He's a level 78 non-elite, however, and probably just as easy as the skeletons to kill. The skeletons are the only NPCs that attack, don't even have to worry about fighting your way to him.

He is located just southeast of Dalaran, across the river, which will show up as a couple arch shaped buildings on your map if you've discovered the area.

He stands in place on the stone, doesn't move around, lazy orc NPC.

Comment by HaddonEast

This quest is an utter waist of time, I have killed 30 wood cutters and still got no drop,, and you get neither loot nore xp for the kills, what crappppp.

Description

Every day, the Black Knight's squire, Maloric, makes a big show of heading to Crystalsong Forest with his axe over his shoulder. He wants us to believe he's chopping wood, but he never returns with more than a few twigs.

He usually goes toward the ruins southwest of the Mirror of Twilight. He spends a lot of time out there, even for a squire with responsibilities to his knight.

Find a way to distract or incapacitate him and search him. If he's up to something, we'll know it.

<Crusader Rhydalla examines the bag's contents with a look of disgust on her face.>

It's all here, <name>: the poison that killed Lorien, a collection of knives, torches, and oil. No man has cause to possess these things here and no squire would do so without orders from his knightly master. We've found our murderer, <name>, but who is he working for?
